We've had confirmation early this morning that the Allbury Travel Group, comprising of brands, Libra Holidays, Argo Holidays and Jetlife has gone in to administration.
As the company will no longer be trading our deepest sympathies go out to all of the staff and customers of Libra, Argo and Jetlife.
The company was a tour operator with a big weddings abroad programme. As many couples may now have had their wedding arrangements cancelled in addition to their holiday arrangements, we are here to help.
Perfect Weddings Abroad specialises in weddings in Cyprus and Greece; both are in fact our two biggest-selling summer destinations.
If you had your wedding booked for 2010 or 2011 with Libra, Argo or Jetlife we will be happy to help you in anyway that we can.
Our office is open for extended hours over the weekend and will also be open from 9am on Monday morning. If you can advise us of your wedding date, your venue and both of your partners names we will endeavour to help you where we can.
